How the neighborhood’s housing stock has evolved over time

With periods of development going back to the 1930s, Hamilton Circle has a wide variety of single-family homes. You’ll find midcentury ranch-style homes resting on spacious lots shaded by mature trees. Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals from the 1980s fill established subdivisions lined with sidewalks. The 2000s saw the addition of New Traditionals on smaller tract-style lots, and brand-new transitionals are rising in the neighborhood today. “It’s an up-and-coming area. There’s some revitalization happening because the surrounding areas are a little more industrial, but it’s also more affordable,” says Jessica Fava, a Realtor with Lantern Realty & Development.

Lower home prices help attract first-time buyers to Hamilton Circle

The neighborhood’s median sale price is around $300,000, significantly below Charlotte ’s, which is around $430,000. “Under $400,000 for a two-story house is amazing for Charlotte. It’s definitely attractive for first-time buyers,” Fava says. Here’s how home prices break down by type:

  • Detached homes start in the mid-$100,000s and can reach the mid-$400,000s.
  • Townhouses start in the upper $100,000s and can reach the lower $300,000s.
  • Condos don’t hit the market often, with only one unit sold recently in the upper $100,000s.

Short commutes to Uptown by car or by CATS bus

Commuters here have direct access to Interstate 77, making it easier to reach job hubs around Charlotte. “It’s fairly close to Uptown but still quiet,” says Kenyon Harris, Realtor with Keller Williams SouthPark. Uptown is less than 7 miles away, or about 10 to 20 minutes. If you prefer not to drive, you can catch a CATS bus on Statesville and Beatties Ford roads. A proposed extension of the CityLYNX Gold Line could bring streetcar service to the Rosa Parks Community Transit Center in neighboring Firestone-Garden Park, giving commuters another car-free option. However, construction is still years down the line.

Housing is in the hands of the persons who property it is. Some individuals care more than others.

The shady activities at the park usually keep most people from exercising and when they feel safe the sewage drain behind the facilities cause a bad odor to fill the air.

At first glance it looks like a mere fast food stop with almost all the fast food chains within a block of each other, but if you go down the road for about half a mile you arrive at a mall where there are some of the nicest restaurants.
